“Sting” is a solid no-big-stars B-picture thriller about an itsy bitsy spider who gets chatty, then awfully big as it tears through a New York apartment building in the middle of a blizzard. Naturally, it was filmed in Australia. The … Continue reading

Next screening? “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”
